HYMN OF THE VAUDOIS MOUNTAINEERS IN
TIMES OF PERSECUTION.
"Thanks be to God for the mountains!"
Howitt's Book of the Seasons.
For the strength of the hills we bless thee,
Our God, our fathers' God!
Thou hast made thy children mighty,
By the touch of the mountain sod.
Thou hast fix'd our ark of refuge
Where the spoiler's foot ne'er trod;
For the strength of the hills we bless thee,
Our God, our fathers' God!
